Those Who Enabled the Kejriwal Gang from Delhi to Take Control of Punjab Have No Standing to Talk About Federalism: Kewal Singh Dhillon
👉🏻 The Moment the CBI Investigation Began, the Kejriwal Gang in Delhi Suddenly Saw Punjab’s Federal Structure Under Threat: Dhillon
Chandigarh, October 8, 2026:“Those who enabled the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi gang to take control of everything from key positions in the Punjab Government to ministers’ residences have no standing to talk about the federal structure,” said Punjab BJP State President Kewal Singh Dhillon in Chandigarh on Thursday. He said that the moment the CBI began investigating alleged corruption in the government, the Delhi-based gang suddenly started seeing Punjab’s federal structure as being under threat.
He said that the government’s argument before the Supreme Court that fabricated cases were being raised because of the Punjab Assembly elections was proof that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was merely seeking political excuses to evade accountability. Dhillon said that AAP leaders had been claiming in the media that the CBI investigation amounted to interference in the federal structure. “This government initially made these arguments in the media to mislead the people and is now repeating the same hollow arguments before the Supreme Court,” he said.
The BJP State President said that neither the BJP nor the Narendra Modi-led Central Government had asked the CBI to conduct the investigation. The CBI investigation was ordered by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court issued these directions after the Punjab Police failed to register an FIR and the state government failed to conduct any investigation into the matter, despite the ED writing to it three times. This shows that there is not merely something wrong—the entire system is tainted.
He said that the real threat to the federal structure of the state comes from this corrupt government. “When the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) itself becomes a hub of corruption, one can imagine what the situation must be like at lower levels,” he said.
Dhillon said that the Aam Aadmi Party government was invoking the federal structure to divert attention from corruption cases and garner public sympathy, but the people of Punjab understand everything. He said that the law will take its course and those involved in corruption will not be spared, regardless of how high their positions may be.
